PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 694,249, dated February25, 1902.

Application filed July 8, 1901. Serial No. 67,540. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, OTIS WAYNE BUDD and MELVIN LEROY BUDD, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Westerville, in the county of Franklinand State of Ohio,'have invented new and useful Improvements in Plows,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to plows, and more particularlyto a harrowattachment therefor; and the primary object is to provide a simpleattachment which may be readily applied and removed without materiallychanging the construction of the ordinary plow.

A further object is to provide means for bearing down and turning undergreen crops and dead weeds or corn-stubble as it is turned by theplowshare.

Other objects, as well as the peculiar construction of the invention,will be specifically described hereinafter and finally recited in theclaims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a plow to which theinvention is applied; and Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the invention,the plow-beam being shown in section.

Referring now to the drawings, 1 designates a plow-beam on which issecured the plowshare 2 and the handles 3, all of ordinary construction.

Intermediate the ends of the beam 1 is a clip 4, secured to said beam bya plate 5 and a similar plate 6, spaced apart at the top by a nut 7, andthe lower ends of the plates are spaced apart by a pivoted arm 8,carrying a rightangularly-disposed roller 9, arranged adjacent theplow-point. The arm and inciden tally the roller are normally held in avertical position bya coil-spring 10. As the plow moves forward theweeds will be pressed upon by the roller 9, and any tendency to ahorizontal movement of the arm will be retarded by the spring 10. Ofcourse suificient play will be permitted to allow the roller to passover any unusual obstruction, such as large clods or rocks. Carried bythe clip and extending rearwardly to a point intermediate the ends ofthe shear and to one side thereof is an arm 11, having a yoked-shapedextension 12. A

plurality of inwardly-curved teeth 13 are carried by the extension 12and are for the pur- 5o pose of pushing weeds and stubble to bottom offurrow as they pass from under the feed-roll 14. This feed-roll is inthe form of a frustum of a cone and rotates on an axle 15, provided withan upwardly-projecting extension or arm 16, carried by the clip.

17 designates a coil-spring secured to the side of the beam and havingthe branch 18 thereof to press against the arm 16 to normally force thefeed-roll 14 and the yoked extension 12 adjacent the shear. Inasmuch asthe arm 11 and the arm 16 are pivoted, the feed-roll 14 and theharrow-teeth will be permitted to have a side play, whereby rocks, 850.,may pass through between the roll and the shear.

While we have specifically described in detail what to us at this timeappears to be the very best form of ourinvention,we would have itunderstood that we reserve the right to make such slight changes andalterations as would suggest themselves from time to time withoutaffecting the scope or departing from the spirit of our invention.

Having thus fully described our invention, What we claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. In a device of the characterdescribed, the combination with a plow, of a harrow attachment carriedthereby comprising aspringpressed pivoted arm secured to the beam,harrow-teeth on the end of said arm, and a feed-roll also carried by thearm.

2. In a device of the character described, the combination with a plow,of a harrow attachment carried thereby comprising a springpressedpivoted arm, harrow-teeth carried by said arm, a feed-roll also carriedby the arm in the shape of a frustum of a cone, and a pivoted rolladjacent the first-named roll.

3. In a device of the character described,

the combination withaplow, of a rearwardly extending arm carriedthereby, a yoke-shaped extension on said arm, teeth projecting from saidextension, a feed-roll carried by said extension and means carried bythe beam for exerting a downward pressure on the weeds adjacent theplow-point,
